All that is only the beginning. This year’s Pitchfork Music Festival will feature more bands than ever before and a longer day of music on Friday.

Tickets go on sale at noon Central time today at TicketWeb. Single-day passes cost $40, and three-day passes cost $90. (There are no two-day passes this year.) Keep watching this space for more details.

Besides Coachella, this is the other music festival I’d want to attend. I’ve only been to Chicago once, but its appreciation for great music was incredibly obvious.

One response to “Pitchfork Music Festival taps Pavement, Modest Mouse, and LCD Soundsystem”

Christopher Glotfelty says:

That’s a shame, because their festival contains some of the best bands of the last 20 years. Pitchfork may take a holier-than-thou attitude at times, but that all goes out the door watching Pavement and Modest Mouse perform live.
